I assumed this is the case but now I am not so sure.

You can probably do that with this as controller as well.
However if I look at the manual I do not see an option to disable the
cache for Raid sets.  Only to change it from Write-back to
Write-Through.   I guess write-through is *almost* as if the cache is
disabled.
